Notes:
The purpose of this investigation is to study the convective heat transfer from a horizontal circular cylinder under the effect of a solid plane wall. The full Navier-Stokes and energy equations for two-dimensi onal steady flow are solved by a finite element method. The variations in surface shear stress, local pressure and Nusselt number around the surface of the cylinder as well as the predicted values of average Nusselt number, location of separation and some flow and temperature fields are presented. It is found that the average Nusselt number and drag force increase as the gap between the cylinder and the wall is increased.
